NYT Strands today (game #729) – the answers
The answers to today’s Strands, game #729, are…
- PANTRY
- WIFI
- PRINTER
- BOOTHS
- DESKS
- LOUNGE
- SPANGRAM: COWORKINGSPACE
- My rating: Hard
- My score: Perfect
The first word I got was PANTRY, which made no sense in connection to the “home office alternative” theme. Fortunately, I found WIFI and PRINTER next and got a grasp on the situation.
I have only used a WeWork style COWORKINGSPACE a couple of times.
Fortunately, I’m happy knocking about my own home, but I can absolutely see the appeal in separating home life from work life, sharing small talk with strangers and being able to use a PRINTER without spending half of your wages on ink.
